Foodie Friday: Smoky Lettuce Wraps with Sage Corn Salsa

Wow! This recipe looks so good you’ll be wanting to tear apart your computer screen to get to the finished meal or wipe out the corn and venison before it’s even ready!

The fine folks at Food For Hunters whipped up this venison treat. It’s officially called “Smoky Lettuce Wraps with Sage Corn Salsa,” but we’re just about ready to say “Bring it!” no matter what it’s called. Looks outstanding!

There are lettuce wraps for Beverly Hills housewives and there are lettuce wraps for meat-eating, huntin’ good ol’ boys and girls. This is for the latter. Trust us. Lettuce wraps aren’t just for girls.

Using Chatellier’s Rare Game Sauce, we marinated venison roast for 4 hours and basted them with the same sauce on the grill. What resulted was a unique and smoky piece of meat, kind of like barbeque sauce but different. The sauce paired perfectly with the corn salsa we made, which also had a smoky punch with ingredients such as grilled corn, tomatoes, red onion and fresh sage. To tie everything together, thinly sliced, flavorful pieces of grilled venison and corn salsa topped romaine lettuce leaves for extra crunch. We bet you can’t eat just one. But it’s so healthy that you don’t have to feel bad about eating more than one! These are great for a meal or an appetizer for parties. Enjoy with a White Zinfandel wine and tortillas chips to dip in extra salsa.
